**Former White House Press Secretary and guest host Jen Psaki engage in a heated conversation with New Hampshire Governor Chris Sununu about Russia collusion and Trump’s legal predicaments on MSNBC’s All In. The Governor blames the media for enabling Trump to claim what he calls a “victim card” and says that no one in Republican circles takes Trump’s legal problems seriously.**
New Hampshire Governor Chris Sununu appeared on MSNBC’s All In and was interviewed by guest host and former White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki. The conversation gravitated towards Trump’s legal issues, and his potential indictment. To this, Sununu repeatedly shook his head no, arguing that none of Trump’s legal problems are taken too seriously within Republican circles. He went on to claim that the media is responsible for enabling Trump to portray himself as a victim.
Discussing the New York indictment, Sununu believes the charges are politically motivated. He went on to claim that Trump has effectively turned all of his controversies into playing a victim card, a scenario created by the media, and that nobody believes these charges. As Psaki tried to clarify the connection between Putin, the Kremlin, and Trump’s election, Sununu refused to rehash the Russian collusion issue.
The governor ultimately blamed false scandal promotion for Trump’s high poll numbers and claimed it was all supported by the media. His anger at Psaki and the media reflects the conservative belief that unfair scrutiny of Trump leads to his portrayal as a victim. This seems to be a topic that remains divisive even today.
